Jimmy Collier's repertoire
blending folk, blues, gospel, country and soul has electrified audiences
from Carnegie Hall to Sesame Street to President Carter's Inaugural
Program. Collier's experiences as a performer echo some of the most
important events of our culture. These include working as staff
entertainer for Dr. Martin Luther King, crewing on Pete
Seeger's musical sloop Clearwater, and portraying the role of African
Americans in the Old West. He currently performs in Northern
California including workshops in the State University's system, Stanford
University, and various organizations. He also performs as an
historical figure for events and business openings. His latest
recording, "Everybody's Somebody", reflects
his musical past as well as hope for the future.

"Jimmy Collier is
the real thing . . . he makes music live . . . music and life don't need
to be separated . . . Jimmy shows they can become one." -Pete
Seeger
